Numerical and Experimental Fractal Pore Network Study on Drying of Porous Media: Model Building

Article Preview

Abstract:

In view of the fact that the two-dimensional square pore network model screened many microstructure features and transfer characteristics inside porous media, a fractal pore network model for unsteady drying process of natural porous body was developed on the base of fractal geometry theory and transport process principle, which took various factors into consideration, such as the liquid-phase flow, vapor-phase diffusion, temperature gradient, and pore microstructure characteristic.
